Definitions

  • ARTIFICIAL NAIL TIP This invention relates to an artificial nail tip for enhancing the appearance of a natural fingernai1.
  • Pre-formed artificial nail tips are well known and are usually designed to be placed on top of a natural fingernail of a user with the artificial nail tip extending beyond the end of the natural nail and being secured in position by suitable adhesive.
  • the trailing end of the artificial nail tip is either made slightly thinner than the leading end of the nail tip or the nail tip is provided with a shoulder on the inner surface of the artificial nail tip which abuts up against the end of the natural fingernail.
  • the junction between the artificial nail tip and the natural fingernail is coated with filler so as to provide a smooth appearance.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved artificial nail tip which helps prevent detachment, for example, when the point of the artificial nail tip is caught on an article.
  • an artificial nail tip comprising a body portion having underside and outer surfaces extending between a leading end and a trailing end, and security means extending from the underside of the body portion and extending towards the trailing end whereby, in use, the security means may be engaged under a user's natural fingernail to resist detachment.
  • the underside surface of the trailing end of the body portion is stepped to provide a shoulder which, in use, abuts the free end of a user's natural fingernail.
  • the body portion is suitably arched to meet the normal curvature of a natural fingernail.
  • the securing means may be a rearwardly extending projection centrally positioned on the underside surface of the body portion and preferably extends laterally a distance substantially less than the lateral extension of the artificial nail tip to facilitate injection moulding.
  • the invention also includes an artificial nail tip comprising: a body portion having underside and outer surfaces extending between a leading end and a trailing end, the body being arched to conform to the normal curvature of a natural fingernail, a shoulder on the surface of the body defining a thinner body portion adjacent the trailing end of the body, and a security projection positioned substantially at the centre of the shoulder on the underside surface of the body and comprising a first portion extending away from the underside surface substantially at right angles and a second portion extending rearwardly from the free end of the first portion to define a slot open towards the trailing end and the back of which is co-extensive with the shoulder, the security projection having a lateral extension which is small relative to the lateral extension of the body of the nail tip and, in use, being engaged underneath the tip of the user's natural fingernail which is located within the slot with the natural nail butted up against the shoulder and the back of the slot and the thinner portion of the artificial nail tip overlying the natural nai1.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of an artificial nail tip in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 2 is an underneath plan view of the artificial nail tip shown in Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is an end view;
  • Figure 4 is a side section on IV on IV in Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 5 is a diagrammatic view showing the artificial nail tip as applied to a user's natural fingernai 1.
  • an artificial nail tip (1) comprises a body portion (2) having underside and outer surfaces (3,4).
  • the body portion (2) has a leading edge (5) and a trailing edge (6) and is slightly arched in order to match the normal curvature of a natural fingernail.
  • the underside surface (3) of the artificial nail tip (1) is provided with a shoulder (7) defining a thinner portion (8) adjacent the trailing edge (6) of the nail tip (1).
  • a security projection (9) Projecting rearwardly from the centre of the shoulder (7) on the underside surface (3) is a security projection (9) which has a relatively small lateral extension relative to the lateral extension of the body of the nail tip (1).
  • the projection (9) comprises a first portion (10) extending away from the underside surface (3) substantially at right angles and a second portion (11) extending rearwardly from the free end of the first portion.
  • the two portions (10,11) together define a slot (12) open towards the trailing end (6) and the back of which is co-extensive with the shoulder (7).
  • the thinner portion (8) of the underside surface of the nail tip (1) is coated with adhesive.
  • the artificial nail tip (1) is then applied to the end of the natural fingernail with the security projection (9) engaged underneath the tip of the user's natural fingernail.
  • the natural fingernail is located within the slot (12) with the natural nail butted up against the shoulder (7) and the back of the slot (12) and the thinner portion (8) of the artificial nail tip (1) overlying the natural nail.
  • the trailing edge (6) of the nail tip is lightly buffed and then the portion of exposed natural nail is filled back to the cuticle with a quick-setting gel painted onto the nail.
  • the user's fingernail is then shaped and painted in normal manner.
  • the adhesive applied to the underside of the artificial nail tip may either be an instant glue applied separately, or adhesive may already be applied to the thinner portion of the nail tip exposed on use by removal of a protective liner, or a separate adhesive tab may be shaped and used for this purpose.
  • the separate adhesive tab may be formed from a layer of adhesive sandwiched between removable protective liners and may be cut to shape from a sheet or preformed as an individual tab for each nail tip as desired.
  • the artificial nail tips are suitably provided in a set of nail tips of various sizes to accommodate the different sizes of nails of users.
  • the set of artificial nail tips would also be supplied with a suitable adhesive as aforesaid, a gel with a fast-acting dryer, and a buffer.
  • the artificial nail tip of the present invention provides the user with a much stronger fixture than prior nail tips and does not suffer the disadvantages previously encountered with artificial fingernails.

Abstract

Une extrémité d'ongle artificielle (1) comprend un corps (2) pourvue de surfaces inférieure et supérieure (3, 4). Ces surfaces (3, 4) s'étendent entre une extrémité avant (5) et une extrémité arrière (6), et un élément de sécurité (9), placé à un endroit intermédiaire par rapport aux deux extrémités (5, 6), s'étend à partir de la surface inférieure du corps (2) vers l'extrémité arrière (6). L'élément de sécurité (9) se présente sous forme d'un élément en saillie définissant une fente (2) qui reçoit l'ongle naturel de l'utilisateur afin d'éviter que l'extrémité artificielle ne se détache de l'ongle naturel.
